Abstract
p-Vinylphenyl glycidyl ether (1), a new vinyl epoxy monomer, was synthesized in 11.1% yield from p-vinylphenol and epichlorohydrin. (p-Vinylphenyl)-methanesulfonate and (p-vinylphenyl)-benzenesulfonate were also synthesized, and their polymers prepared.
(1) was bulk-polymerized into a new epoxy resin (3) with intrinsic viscosity of 0.81 dl·g-1 (dioxane, 30°C). (1) and (3) appeared to be useful for casting or heat adhesion. By treatment of poly-p-vinylphenol with benzenediazonium chloride, a colored polymer containing azo groups was obtained, and with cinnamoyl chloride, a photosensitive polymer was formed.
